Well it looks like Russell Brand is set to become the new Jimmy Savile having watched Despatches on C4 last night. Again though, like Savile, everybody knew about what he was doing but the management of the BBC and C4 ( plus others in the UK and USA) at the time covered it up. The big difference though is that Savile was dead before it all came out. Brand is very much alive.

OMG you probably don't remember how bad Labour were

It's the same with rifle powders

No mention of the bus.

You have to wonder about Angela Raynor. No brains, no qualifications not even an O level, no ability that's ever been put to the test, and when she talks she sounds ' Rait thick'. Yet in a short while she could be Deputy Prime Minister. How is this allowed to happen ?

It should be a good watch. Laura Kuenssberg lifts the lid on a lot of the double dealing that went on (and is still going on) after the Brexit Vote. Many people , including me, still believe that elements within the Civil Service are still plotting to reverse the Brexit Vote. Why? Well apart from anything else the senior civil Servants lost their endless all expenses paid trips to Brussels with all the perks that went them. How many punches Laura is able to land on targer I don't know yet

It's not about working from home as much as NOT working from home. When you are at home nobody can see what you are really doing. (or not doing) It's so obvious you are going to have "distractions" . You would have to be absolutely stupid not to believe it is true

Definitely true ! The Civil Service is not fit for purpose anymore.

There are some pretty useless people getting paid mega money for doing very little on the payroll of most councils. Pruning them out would be a start Plus, I believe, councils don't have a pension fund. They pay their pensions out of the money we pay in as council tax every month.

They couldn't run a chip shop. Totally devoid of any ability or experience. If they do get in Starmer will get pushed out pretty quick.

Not much doubt about that Gordon. Yet Lisa Nandy, who is much brighter and more capable has just been very pointedly and publicly demoted in the last reshuffle . Her second demotion by Starmer who clearly sees her as a threat. As Diane Abbott has shown in the past, being thick is no hindrance to getting on in the Labour Party

The Eastern Europeans used to catch them by the thousand off the sea wall around the south west side of Poole Harbour using multiple drop nets. Then they chuck the buckets containing the crabs into the back of their cars in the late afternoon and drive off with them. I have wondered many times what they do with them? Can you eat them? There hardly seems enough meat inside such a tiny shell to make it worth the effort?

A pitted barrel is not a safety issue. If it shoots well then keep it.

Yes very hit and miss

They are now.

It's not just inside M25 either, Oxford, Bath, Birmingham, Bradford, Bristol, Gateshead, Glasgow, Newcastle and I think Sheffield too. The list just grows longer but it's a tax on the poor and the elderly who own old cars but probably hardly use them My old mum had an old Nissan micra but it barely did ten miles a week. But those ten miles were absolutely vital to her. Doctors Tescos etc

They were always a good car. Unfortunately you can't drive it round here now. Thanks to our lovely mayor

I was bought a box set about twenty years ago It was great but all the shooting and fishing programmes had been missed off the box set. So we had shire horses and ploughing etc but that wasn't what I wanted to see More political correctness

This would work and very quickly when they realise the door really is shut. It would solve France's problem too because they won't bother making the journey to the French coast if it stops being viable to get across to UK.

It's inevitable that people will want to come from countries where they have no prospects to countries where even delivering pizzas or working in a car wash is like a dream come true. Take west Africa as an example, the population is exploding yet the country produces no wealth to support all those extra people.

Why would the manageress of the lionesses not play somebody good because of their skin colour ? Because that is the question being implied? And its rubbish

I am a londonder born and bred. In the majority of London boroughs now people like me are definitely in a minority. That's just a fact, so Khan is right, no point in trying to appeal to voters like me.

Yes it's better than the mens game IMO

My step daughter took nine hours to get down to Cornwall in her new company electric car. Previously about four hours in her petrol car. How is this progress ?

There is only an allegation that she "appeared to be' intoxicated in the town. You are never going to get to the bottom of that one. Nobody has actually said drunk. Kids of that age more often take legal highs or nitrous oxide because they are cheaper. But also harder to detect. Whatever, she was obviously in need of protection for her own welfare. Given all the history of paedophile grooming gang targeting under age girls the police were right to bring her home. But the whole back story of why she was in the town in the first place never got mentioned. Was this a one off? Or was she a regular? Prime prey for the paedophile, drug dealers and pimps.
